For myself,... I find the following weaknesses from my previous studies :-

1) For M1 : the dpu is not consistent. The yield may be acceptable, but I have not checked for sometime,...If I recalled correctly, the payout is only twice per yr,...

2) For Singtel : the dpu, I recalled,... is quite consistent,... but the payout is also twice per yr only. But the tield is not good, though I've not checked the price recently,...

Of the three Sgp telcos, I take Starhub,... consistent 2 cts per quarter, 4x a year payout, but has the highest gearing among the three SG telcos,....

Yesterday announcement M1 earning drop 23% causing the price drop today plus possible of 4th telco will be announce by next week. If materialise, possible to touch 2.00 imo. I divested M1 months ago but maybe will buy in again if hit my target price.

Read a report somewhere that with the fourth telco being introduced, M1 would be the one affected the most among the three telcos.

Yup , m1 is smallest compare the other 2 and singtel business would be more diversify

Hansel Hi sir, about how to open cdp account in sg.

Steps to do:

1) change myr to sgd (at money changer)
2) go to sg, open bank and cdp account in the same branch
3) leave, and trade online (purchase REITs) via the account I've opened
4) sgd in my account finished up, exchange myr to sgd again and go to sg to top up my bank balance? (must do it physically??@@)

any better idea to "top up" or open new bank and cdp accounts?

any recommendation of bank with reasonable charges which I can open both account at the same time?

what kind of documentations that I need to open those account?

How long I would need to stay at sg to do so?

Any necessary details that I've missed up? Please enlighten us.

You are asking the wrong guy (I haven't opened one yet).
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1440794/all

ok, thought you're interested to know more mah.

OKay guy,... you can still open a brokerage account today in Singapore. When you open a brokerage account, the brokerage will automatically enrol you into CDP, provided the brokerage is NOT a nominee-styled brokerage.

You can TT funds into your brokerage account from a Malaysian bank. You just need to get the TT details from the brokerage

I would also advise you to open a Saver Account with Standard Chartered Singapore, before they close their doors. There are benefits to this. If you do what I say, you will not regret it later,...

It is not easy to open bank accounts anymore if you do not hold an employment pass or are a PR,...But Standard Chartered Singapore still accepts Malaysians opening bank accounts there today,....

Is it possible to open this account form Std Chartered Msia?

Morning prophet,... I don't think so,... Stanchart Sgp wants to see documents and this and that,...

May I know what is the benefit? Currently I have savings account with OCBC and a trading account with them too to facilitate buying of SG shares. Do you think this Saver Account with SCB SG will still be a benefit? Many thanks for your enlightenment.

Hi,.. if you are a Singaporean or a PR, then this 'benefit statement' does not apply to you. You can always open an acct anywhere and anytime in SG.

If you are not, it is always better to have another account beside OCBC's, furthermore, what is your brokerage charge in OCBC Trading ?

I am Malaysian and not PR. Opened both savings and CDP accounts 2 years ago. Hmm.. just realized I did not received contract notes. I do keep track of purchases via manual excel spreadsheet and seems the amount tally. The brokerage fee is 0.42% (min $25.00). There is access fee, clearing fee (0.0325%) and gst (7%). Are all the charges component correct?

Thanks

o&G, maritime cos. with heavy debts facing difficulties...

more bad news weighing on sgx...

i spent ard 2 hours at SC Sg. They really need to see documents there - pasport, IC, supporting doc reflecting your mailing address in Msia.

Bring along ard Sgd10k even though they required Sgd1k.

This was done 1 year ago.

Can try Maybank Sg too easier if u have Msia MBB kindly bring along paasbook.

Good luck.

Yes, yr fees stated are abt right.

But if you have SCB, your minimum charge is SGD10, OR 0.2% of transacted amt, whichever higher,... This is good, right ?? But yr shares are kept in Stanchart and are not registered directly under yr name, hence, you are not able to go for AGMs.

After buying thru Stanchart, you can always transfer yr shares to CDP, PROVIDED you have a CDP Acct, at minimal fees.
